I have seen the open shelving in kitchens alot on the HGTV remodel shows. Always wonder about your dishes getting dusty !

I do like the look, but I'm sure anything up there would be full of cat hair if not an actual cat.

I think open shelving is very impractical. It's so dusty where I live, I'd have to wash dishes before dinner.

My dishes would get very dusty, especially since there are only 2 of us here. I like the look, but it's not practical...same as so many things shown on TV and in magazines!

Not just dusty, but likely greasy as well. And I’d also be thinking about flies landing on them in the summertime. Just not for me.

In addition to the dust, I just don't have so much matchy matchy stuff that my shelves would look so inviting - saw a lovely kitchen on a house tour in an artsy community once. Lots of open shelving as well as some glassed in shelving, but all with stacks of fiestaware and the stacks were done so that all over those shelves everything was in the same order. The husband in that house ran a window shade and curtain business and even the striped curtains were the same Fiestaqware colors.
Cute for that house and artsy town- way more effort to maintain than I'm willing to do. Bad enough I have to unload the dishwasher let alone I have to stack the plates in color order. Oh. no - that's for someone way more ambitious than I am.

I don't think open shelving is at all hygienic.

Definately not me.

Shall I start a list of what I see on HGTV that I don't like?
I don't like open concept. I don't want to feel like I'm living in a gymnasium
Wide doorways are as far as I would go.
A front porch. I love Hometown but not everyone loves a front porch. I don't want anything covering my windows & doors.
Open shelving in the kitchen is ok in small doses. If you have an awkward space near a window or an overhead vent, maybe, but only for items you use often.
